“We are just going to focus on halves, quarters and eighths. Have a go at making this:

halves = fold strip in half

quarters = fold half and half again

eighths = fold half, half and half again

Now work out how many quarters and eighths are equivalent (the same value) as the half.

Discuss what you notcie about the numerator and denominator link (the top number is

always half of the bottom number)

CHALLENGE: Following that rule, can you guess how many sixths and tenths are equivalent to one half?

Can you find as many equivalent fractions as possible?

e.g

1/2 = 2/4 1/3 = 2/6 3/4 = 6/8

Create an equivalent fraction poster to show me what you have found out!

PSHE LET’S FIND REASONS TO BE HAPPY!

Go through the powerpoint and talk about what makes you happy, how you can make others happy

and suggestions for others to create a happier world.

Then, create a Little Book of Happiness for our class to put on display. Take as much time as you
